The FC_MoviTools function
System Description
1.2 The FC_MoviTools function
The new
FC_MoviTools
STEP7 function is easy to integrate, so you can link your
SIMATIC S7 system to the MOVITOOLS
®
software from SEW-EURODRIVE.
The link to SEW-EURODRIVE drive inverters connected to PROFIBUS is established
using the
FC_MoviTools
function. MOVITOOLS
®
operates with the PROFIBUS address
set on the drive inverters using DIP switches.
On the PC side, MOVITOOLS
®
software communication via the SIMATIC Net PRO-
DAVE MPI driver is controlled in such a way that a link is established to SIMATIC S7 via
the MPI interface.
All the information about the communication link is stored in the SIMATIC S7 program.
As a result, any particular PC with MOVITOOLS
®
and the MPI interface can access the
drive data, even without SIMATIC S7 project information (→ Figure 1).
